Naibbe as published: vocabulary richness and word-order information
72.5 % of Naibbe tokens are word types that occur in the manuscript and the top-100 manuscript words keep their rank order (Spearman 0.64), so the common vocabulary is right; the misses are in the tail and in sequence.
Result
| Run | Measured | Result | Against | Decision | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Run | Share of word types seen once (hapax) / bits per word saved by word order / repeated 3-word phrases / word-length sd | Currier B: hapax 0.693 vs 0.452; order gain 0.314 vs 0.125; repeated 3-grams 103 vs 27; length sd 1.69 vs 1.51. Whole book: hapax 0.705 vs 0.393; order gain 0.404 vs 0.143; 3-grams 145 vs 56; sd 1.77 vs 1.51 | Plain Latin in the same lines (Currier B): hapax 0.633, order gain 1.73, 3-grams 1,097, sd 2.57 | Fails (z 33, 8, 16, 22 on B): the cipher's vocabulary is too closed (too few one-off words) and its word sequence carries even less information than the manuscript's, whose weak word order is itself far below Latin |
